Gulbis is definitely looking more promising this year but how long will that last who knows. Raonic is the most consistent player out there without a doubt. The Comms seem to think Dimitrov has it all but I guess we'll find that out in time. I don't have any favourite...just like watching these players against other players.

I'll be watching to see what happens with 21 yr old Spaniard Pablo Carrena -Busta who this year has won 7 Futures titles and has a 39 - 1 w/l ratio (make that 42-1 with three rounds of qualifying this week). Hasn't lost a match since January. Ranked 293.

No particularly big scalps as far as I can see but impressive consistency. Now into main draw in Casablanca and plays Andujar tomorrow.

Think the other Futures players will be pleased he's moved on!

Would probably be top 50 right now if he hadn't missed most of 2012. Was #133 shortly after turning 20 and probably most talented of his generation. Don't be fooled by his ranking.

See what you mean about 2012 - injury presumably? I was surprised by his ranking, thought he'd be higher after what I'd read these last three months, but obviously gaining points is hard work at that level.

Wonder if he'll drop one of his names!

Aye I think so. I guess 18 points doesn't mean much when you hit the top 300. If you check his ranking history he started the year 700 odd, rose quickly with each tournament win then slowed down as he got into the 300s. Will need to step up back to Challenger level now to really sustain his progress back to the top 150, but qualifying for ATP events won't harm! Good win against Serra in FQR.

The confidence and winning feeling from all those Futures will hopefully leave him in good stead. I hope to see him break the top 100 this year.
